What’s in Your Head, Zombie?

In just a few hours, Valve will unlock the first taste of Left 4 Dead to the zombie hoardes like myself eager to get their hands on the first taste of the zombie shooter. And I must say I don’t think I’ve been this excited about playing a game since TF2/The Orange Box. Sure, I am still greatly looking forward to Red Alert 3 and Fallout 3, but as my lack of spare cash means I can’t actually get them yet, I’ve managed to tone down my need for them. Well, that and my housemate has Fallout 3 for his 360 so I can play it on that if I really need to. (Assuming he lets me back on it after my last stint which ended in three red rings…)

I like to think that I’m not generally one who gets caught up in hype, although I do have a fairly optimistic outlook on games. But the stuff I’ve seen and read about L4D lately really has got me tearing at the bit to play this. It’s just a bit of a shame that this evening is only the demo, and there’s still a week and a bit left for the full game. Still, I should be worrying about getting Uni work out of the way as well…

They’re coming to get you, Barbara.
